Predictor Challenge Update - 23rd March 2019

We had some interesting looking contests across West Region at the weekend, with plenty of games affecting the promotion and relegation battles:


Predicted win %
Draw Count
Allan Glens 95.6% v 4.4% Cumnock 0.0% 45
Annan 84.4% v 15.6% Dalziel 0.0% 45
East Kilbride 93.3% v 6.7% Kilmarnock 0.0% 45
Greenock Wanderers 93.3% v 6.7% Irvine 0.0% 45
Bishopton 40.5% v 59.5% Cumbernauld 0.0% 42
Lenzie 95.3% v 4.7% Wigtownshire 0.0% 43
Oban Lorne 88.1% v 11.9% Paisley 0.0% 42
Strathaven 90.5% v 9.5% Clydebank 0.0% 42
Uddingston 71.4% v 28.6% Helensburgh 0.0% 42
Cowal 85.7% v 14.3% Hyndland 0.0% 42
Isle of Mull 57.1% v 42.9% Birkmyre 0.0% 42
Waysiders/Drumpellier 66.7% v 33.3% Glasgow Uni Medics 0.0% 42


The bulk of the results went the way of the Predictor Odds, but two which didn't could have a big impact on the promotion and relegation battle between West 2 and West 3.

In the title battle at the top of West 3, WD were firm favourites for the win, but it was visitors Glasgow Uni Medics who took the victory, even though only 33% of us went for them.

Whilst in the West 2 relegation battle, it was the Cumbernauld v Bishopton game that most of us called wrong.  Nearly 60% of us went for Cumbie, no doubt influenced by the poor recent form of Bish, but on Saturday it was Bishopton who took the victory, opening the gap to Cumbie to six points, and closing the gap to Wigtownshire to two points.


We had three 100% entries, whilst three of our Top 10 Leaderboard scored 11 out of 12.

On the Top 10 Leaderboard, Fatman increased his lead following an 11 from 12 result from Saturdays games, whilst Jesus jumps two places from fifth to third (again having scored 11 from 12).

We had 517 predictions submitted across 45 entrants with an average success rate of 77%.  Across the season to date, there's been 11,915 predictions submitted for the games played, with an average success rate of 68%.

We're still running our random prediction entry, though this week it scored a rather unimpressive 33%, with a running average of 55%.

As the league campaign across West Region comes to a climax so too does the Predictor Challenge - it's looking like we have three weeks of the Challenge remaining.
